Blair Witch Announced for PlayStation 4
Bloober Team and Lionsgate Games have announced that Blair Witch will be released on PlayStation 4 on December 3, 2019 via the PlayStation store for $29.90 USD.
The PlayStation 4 version arrives with "gameplay and technical enhancements" from the Xbox One and PC versions that arrived earlier this year.
In addition, and perhaps most importantly, players will now be able to customize Bullet the dog to make him "their personal 'good boy' with the 'Good Boy Pack'" which includes new dog skins, new in-game cellphone games, wallpapers, and new animations for Bullet that will make him "even more realistic."
The "Good Boy Pack" will also be available on PC and Xbox One.
Neverwinter: Infernal Descent Takes You to Hell in New Trailer
The popular free-to-play MMORPG Neverwinter has a new module on the way. It's called Infernal Descent, and as the name implies, it's taking you to Hell. The first layer of the Nine Hells, to be more specific.
The new campaign is designed for level-80 characters, say publisher Perfect World Entertainment and developer Cryptic Studios. They also say to expect a new endgame dungeon and adventure zones set on Vallenhas Estate.
Neverwinter: Infernal Descent will be released on January 21, 2020 for PC. A console version will be on the way at a later date.

It will retail for $39.99, and a free playable demo will be available on the day of release so you can try it out. The PC version supports upgraded visuals running at up to 4K and 60fps.

Xbox Scarlett Aims To Support Microsoft’s Play Anywhere Scheme
Xbox Head Phil Spencer has said that Microsoft aims to support its Play Anywhere scheme in the next generation, allowing cross-play, cross-buy, cross-saves, and achievements across Xbox One, Xbox Scarlett, and Windows PC platforms.
Talking to Stevivor at X019, Spencer said “Our goal for our first-party games is that your entitlements will be cross-generation and your Achievements will move effectively with your save game because that’s where they stand.”

These MCU Stars Almost Played Different Marvel Heroes
Sarah Finn, the main casting director behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has shared new details about how Marvel Studios placed some of their biggest stars into their respective superhero roles.
Finn lifted the lid on Marvel's auditioning process in the November issue of The Hollywood Reporter, as she recalled how the casting team assembled the MCU's roster of heroes over the past decade-plus, as well as revealing the famous roles that almost belonged to other stars.
Reminiscing about past auditions, Finn discussed the possibility of Chadwick Boseman joining the Guardians of the Galaxy, as she admitted that the Get On Up star originally auditioned to play Drax the Destroyer. While it didn't work out, the casting executives called upon the actor when recruiting for Black Panther, as they felt that Boseman possessed all of the right qualities to take the mantle as the King of Wakanda.

Where Is Ozymandias in HBO’s Watchmen?
While HBO’s Watchmen series contains numerous mysteries for viewers to ponder over, the strangest has to be the one surrounding the location of Adrian Veidt (Jeremy Irons). Hints have been dropped in the first four episodes, but Episode 5 “Little Fear of Lightning” finally reveals where the man also known as Ozymandias resides -- and showrunner Damon Lindelof confirmed it.
Warning: full spoilers for HBO’s Watchmen ahead!
At first, it seemed like Veidt was spending his post-squid explosion retirement off in the country living inside a lavish castle surrounded by servants, but before long we learned that he’s actually imprisoned by someone known as the Game Warden and we’ve been watching his attempts to formulate an escape plan.

Disney+ has been a massive success so far, with 10 million subscribers joining the service on launch day. However, everything didn't go completely smoothly for the service at launch, with users reporting numerous different issues and missing features. One notable feature that was apparently live at launch and then quickly disappeared from Disney+ was the "continue watching" option to pick up a show where you left off — but it sounds like it'll be back soon.
